Hi there

I want to try ultrawide model since it is becoming more affordable now.

I am currently using mx 279h from asus and i am hoping to get ultrawide lg 29UM57.

Will this be a good upgrade?

I notice the price for new mx279h is higher than new lg model.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Got one from Lazada.

Great color but shitty button.

It works great on gaming immersion but only if you're like sitting lesser than 3 feet away from the monitor.

I'm coming from these 27 inch Dell, Samsung and Philips; and for me, it has been a good upgrade.

Haha i dont mind the pixel since my monitor now only full hd as well. No money for 1440p yet n gfx card not powerful enough. How about movies?

Movies is the reason why these monitors exist!

Watching movies just work. Lights off and you're immersed without the pesky horizontal black bars. Even 16:9 drama works great too as you tend to not notice the vertical black bars on the side.

how good is color calibration for mx279h? is it good?

I dont know how to test. Sorry.

Must say the LG 29UM57 is a very nice intro to UW world, at an affordable price (and resolution), IPS too! Damn it's tempting!!!

u using one?

Thinking of getting one. Got yours?

I didnt get one since i notice the screen area is the same with my 27inch, and would only be sidegrade if i get one. Kumpul duit buy 34 widescreen hehe when it drop price.

I see. According to this it is indeed. How much did you get your ASUS for?

34" too super duper mahal.

Around 1.1k 2 years ago. Haha. The new one apparently cost 1.5k now.
